The Reunion

February 27, 2007 4:25 pm

Or go to this link…

I finally got around to editing the video from my 10 year class reunion. We really haven’t changed that much… for the most part that is a good thing, but it is also pretty scary. I like to think that I am making all kinds of “progress” in so many areas of my life. Abandoning old ideas that never worked, realizing my faults, owning up to my mistakes and living differently in light of the realization that comes with humility… maturing. 10 years go by, and I still enjoy making videos with my highschool friends… well maybe some things shouldn’t change.

TrailMix is awesome. I remember when I would scoff at such a sorted collection of twigs and berries in preference for a sack of Doritos. Doritos are still pretty awesome, but TrailMix… its not a snack, its a meal. And I intend to make a science of it. Can I replace all my meals save one a day with TrailMix? I am working on my own special blend…

  • A Base of Oats
  • Craklin Oat Bran
  • Banana Chips
  • Dried Cranberries
  • Dried Strawberry Chunks
  • Raisins
  • White Chocolate Morsels

Super Underwear

As part of my observation of Lent this year, and in preparation for the SuperTrip, I have decided to wear the same pair of underwear for 40 days. My confidence is still quite hi, although I am only 3 days in. There was a day when people did not have drawers full of briefs and people managed… I can as well. These are no ordinary pair of underwear though, they are made of a new spaceage super-material, known as Capilene

  • Odor Resistant
  • Stain Resistant
  • Indestructible

… we’ll see… we’ll see…

Lent, the return…

Last year I gave up pop (soda) for 40 days. This year I am choosing to drink water exclusively, thereby denying all other liquids; pop, soda, juice, beer, wine, or whatever else flows.

Last year was a challenge, two days in and I was having fairly severe withdrawal headaches around the time of my usual sweet beverage fix. I was amazed how the experience altered my desires in just 40 days. I still drink pop now, but with less than half the fierceness that I had. The question is, can abstaining also build a good habit?

I am also going to use the 40 day opportunity as a sort of training boot camp for the supertrip. For 40 days I will…

  • Have my passport on me whenever I leave my house
  • Sleep with only the provisions I will have while traveling
  • Wear the same pair of underwear, I am serious

Shoot for the world, settle for Europe…

4:14 pm

Well, it looks like it is really going to happen…

  • Backpack, check
  • Passport, check
  • Ok from boss, check
  • Plain Ticket, not just yet…

The whole world was getting a bit expensive, but I think three months in Europe will do for an adventure.
